It is not unŽreasonable to assume that both Rhynchocephalia and Sauria sprang from the Eosuchia, though alternative views are also held. Of extinct lizards best lizards the best known are probably the dolicho-saurs and mosasaurs of the Cretaceous, the former a semiaquatic group related to the moniŽtor lizards (Varanus) of today, and the mosaŽsaurs, one of which attained a length of twenty-five feet, marine reptiles with paddle-shaped limbs.Housing: A great many lizards make interestŽing pets which become very tame and soon learn to take food from one's fingers. Most lizards are easily maintained in the woodland or desert habitat of the terrarium. As a rule several kinds of lizards may be placed in the habitat together. However, some species are cannibalistic and must be housed alone.
On The Other Hand See Lizards Feed:
In the wild, alligator lizards feed primarily on insects, though some species are cannibalistic. Feed live insects such as grubs, beetles, slow-moving bugs; other small lizards; meal worms in all stages of development. Place meal worms in shallow dish from which they cannot escape (see Part III). WaterEssential at all times; place in flat, open dish. Range: Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains from North Carolina to Florida and westward to eastern Texas; northward in the Mississippi valley to Arkansas and Tennessee.In the wild these lizards feed entirely on insects. Give flies, beetles, meal worms, other insect larvae, and any other available insects. WaferEssential; sprinkle foliage of plants daily, preferably during warmest part of day, so long as pets are active; lizards lap drops of water from foliage.
